Executive SummaryAI Copilot

The LayerZero Token contract is an OFT (Omnichain Fungible Token) implementation, inheriting ERC-20 functionality and enabling cross-chain token transfers via LayerZero. A key finding is that a privileged `endpoint` address can mint new tokens, which could dilute existing token holders. The contract owner is a multisig, providing robust control over administrative functions.

A privileged address can mint new tokens

CP-01A privileged function increases the total supply, diluting every holder. Functions: send(SendParam,MessagingFee,address), lzReceiveSimulate(Origin,bytes32,bytes,address,bytes), lzReceive(Origin,bytes32,bytes,address,bytes). Restricted to: endpoint.

FixCheck who holds these functions and whether a timelock or multisig stands between them and holders.

Liquidity not locked

QA-LIQUIDITY0.0% of the pool's LP is burned or time-locked. 99.9% is held, unlocked, by 7 address(es) other than the owner/deployer. One of them — a wallet, 0x933b…b069 — holds 53.7% and can remove that share at once; who controls it is not visible on-chain, so it is not treated as an independent provider. Some pools are concentrated-liquidity (V3/V4) positions; shares above are by position as GoPlus reports them. This assessment covers the main pool, which holds 95% of the token's DEX liquidity; the other pools were not assessed.

Asset class: Project token

QA-PROFILEA token issued by a project for use, governance or fundraising. Scored on its contract and market facts. The class itself adds no points; the contract and market facts decide the score. Basis: no class-specific evidence. Tokenomics — Supply: mintable with no on-chain cap found. Control: a 3-of-5 multisig. Code: not upgradeable (no proxy). Fees: no buy or sell tax. Market: $71K of DEX liquidity across 7 pools. Launch: 835 days of market history.

Category Ratings

TechnicalLow8/10

The LayerZero Token contract implements the ERC-20 standard and extends it with OFT capabilities for cross-chain transfers (7.1 Architecture). The contract includes standard ERC-20 functions like `transfer` and `balanceOf`. Administrative functions, such as `setMsgInspector` and `setPeer`, are restricted to the `owner` (7.3 Access Control). However, the `endpoint` address has the ability to mint new tokens via `lzReceive` and `send` functions (7.2 Code Security), which is a significant technical control issue as it directly impacts the token supply.

GovernanceMedium5/10

The contract's economic model is based on an ERC-20 token with cross-chain functionality. The `owner` has control over various administrative settings, such as `setMsgInspector` and `setPeer` (7.5 Governance), and this `owner` is a multisig. A significant economic risk (7.4 Economic) is the ability of the `endpoint` address to mint new tokens through functions like `send` and `lzReceive`. This capability, if not managed with extreme care, could lead to token dilution for existing holders, centralizing a critical economic power in the hands of the `endpoint` controller.

UpgradesMedium4/10

The contract is not deployed as a proxy (7.7 Upgrades) and therefore does not have direct upgradeability mechanisms built into its deployment. Any changes to the contract logic would require deploying a new contract and migrating assets, which reduces the risk of upgrade-related vulnerabilities.

Holder Composition

37.2% in top 10
11.9% in wallets25.4% in contracts
Effective Concentration22.0%

Share held by contracts — treasury, vesting, bridge or staking — is discounted against share held by wallets when the score is computed: a contract cannot decide to sell the way an anonymous holder can, though it can still be drained or voted to sell. Effective concentration is the figure the risk score is actually calculated from.

No privileged address appears among these holders: the unlocked liquidity sits with independent providers, not with the deployer.

What Raised This Score

3 factors
  • Mintable supply — no cap found, dilution unbounded; held by endpoint: Other-Contract
  • Liquidity NOT locked (100% of the pool; this pool is 95% of DEX liquidity) — held by independent providers — market-depth risk
  • Top-10 concentration > 20% (37.2% total → 22.0% effective; 11.9% in EOAs, 25.4% in contracts)

Each factor is an on-chain fact recorded at the time of this analysis. The score is computed from them by a deterministic function, so the same contract returns the same score for anyone who runs the audit. How scores are computed
